Changing Forwarding and Static Database Entries

entries. To open the Static Table window:

button; drag down to Filtering Database to display the Filtering Database
window.
2. If the Filtering Database window displays Forwarding entries, highlight the
entry you want to change and click on the Add to Static Table button.
or
If the Filtering Database window displays Static entries, highlight an entry and
click on the Change button.
